Have you ever had that candy/cookie toffee made with crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate?
Have you ever wanted to have a lot more?
My apologies to your girlish figure, but I figured out how to make an easy cracker toffee recipe in a mug!
I’m fascinated with single-serve mug desserts, but we don’t have a microwave, so I haven’t had many chances to experiment.
However, this summer, we lived in an apartment that had one while traveling for work; we are living with my parents while we house hunt, and they have one, too.
Opportunity abounds! I love to make a bedtime snack; someday, I’ll need to figure out some healthy versions.
Today, alas, is not that day.
This recipe is quick and easy; adjust to taste!
However, if you use less sugar, your crackers may not be crunchy.
My Grammie taught me to make the original recipe years ago before it became popular on Pinterest!
We lost her this month, so I’m happy that I created this just in time to post it in her honor.
